turbo-quant-memory 0.28.0

Local-first memory and knowledge graph for AI coding agents

Your agent stops re-reading files and re-deriving the same conclusions.
Your notes, code and secrets never leave your machine.

The problem

A long session accumulates hard-won detail about why the code is the way it is. Then the context compacts and it is gone. Next session the agent re-reads the same files, re-derives the same conclusions, and bills you for the same tokens again.

CLAUDE.md does not scale past a few dozen lines, and it cannot answer "what did we decide about X, and why?".

Turbo Quant Memory is an MCP server that gives the agent a persistent, searchable store it writes to while it works — decisions, lessons, patterns, session handoffs — plus a compact index of your Markdown. Retrieval returns ~220-character result cards rather than whole documents; the agent loads full content only when a card is not enough.

Why this one

No HTTP client, no telemetry, no phone-home. Verify it yourself — this returns nothing:

grep -rnE '^[[:space:]]*(import|from)[[:space:]]+(requests|httpx|aiohttp|urllib3)\b' src/

To be precise about the one exception: on first run fastembed downloads the embedding model (~0.22 GB) from Hugging Face. After that the server runs fully offline. Your notes, code and secrets are never transmitted anywhere — there is nothing in the package that could send them.

Install

Let your agent install it

Paste this into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor or Antigravity:

Install and configure the Turbo Quant Memory MCP server for this workspace from https://github.com/Lexus2016/turbo_quant_memory — follow the README, register the tqmemory server, run turbo-memory-mcp skill install, run the health check, and index this project.

skill install copies an operating manual into every agent skill directory on the machine, so every future session already knows how to use the memory without being told.

Or install it yourself

uv tool install turbo-quant-memory

Then register the server with your client:

claude mcp add --scope project tqmemory -- turbo-memory-mcp serve   # Claude Code
codex  mcp add tqmemory -- turbo-memory-mcp serve                   # Codex
gemini mcp add tqmemory turbo-memory-mcp serve                      # Gemini CLI

Cursor, OpenCode, Antigravity and other clients → CLIENT_INTEGRATIONS.md. Hermes runs MCP through a systemd gateway → docs/hermes.md.

📈 It measures its own savings — see for yourself

Turbo Quant Memory doesn't just claim to save tokens — every install keeps a running tally you can read anytime with server_info() (field usage_stats.headline). The savings are yours to verify, not ours to promise.

These are one machine's cumulative numbers, not a synthetic benchmark — your own counter starts at zero and grows as your agent works. Run server_info() on your install to see your real figure.

What it does

• Typed notes. decision, lesson, pattern, handoff — each stored with tags, provenance and a knowledge-graph link to the file or issue it is about.
• Tiered memory. durable (decisions, patterns) and reference (indexed docs) are searched by default; episodic (session handoffs) stays out of the way until you ask for it, so yesterday's noise never buries an architectural decision.
• Hybrid retrieval. A dense vector lane leads; a BM25 lane rescues exact terms — function names, file paths, IDs — fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Cyrillic and other non-English terms match exactly, case- and accent-insensitive, with no configuration.
• Knowledge graph. Directed, timestamped relations between notes, files and issues. Search results carry the linked context inline, so the agent does not need a second lookup.
• Human notes outrank agent notes. Anything you explicitly asked to remember is flagged human-explicit and ranks above the agent's own observations at equal relevance.
• Encrypted secrets vault. Project-scoped, AES-256-GCM, structurally unreachable from search. → docs/secrets-vault.md
• Runs on a small machine. The default embedder is ONNX via fastembed — no PyTorch, ~0.22 GB model, comfortable on 2 GB of RAM.
